Creepy
This morning on the radio they decided to play records backwards. Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” was supposed to say “It’s fun to smoke marijuana.” It did. Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby, One More Time” was supposed to say “Sleep with me, I’m not too young.” You know what? It totally did.
While I was listening to this, I was getting ready for work. Alone. Kids at their dad’s, boyfriend in his own bed at home.
So then they talk about that old show Mr. Ed and how everyone used to watch it as kids. Yeah, my brothers and I used to watch the crap out of that show every weekday of the summer at 5:30 a.m.
So then they say that if you play the Mr. Ed theme song backwards, it says “source of the devil.”
Then they played it backwards, and it did kind of sound like Mr. Ed was saying that. And it was a little creepy. I have to say that I was a little creeped out.
Then, the DJs said that another part of the theme song that, when played backwards, allegedly said something about giving oneself over to Satan.
Dude, I got so creeped out, I had to turn off the radio. I got so creeped out, I was scared to be in my own apartment alone, and I went out the door to work. I drove to work so fast, I got there fifteen minutes early and had to spend that time at my desk with my coworkers around me, instead of sitting in my car in the parking garage, listening to the radio alone.
It’s not that I actually believe that Mr. Ed was the source of Satan. I know that he wasn’t even really a talking horse. And it’s not like I believe that Satan can put his voice onto records, forward or backwards, from the remote depths of hell. No, I imagine he has better things to do with his time, if he even exists.
But I do believe that it’s highly likely that someone – probably someone high on drugs – thought it would be a good idea to backwards-mask a satanic message onto a record. Dude, I totally believe that. And that thought creeps me out.
Some people have nothing better to do than be evil, or to fantasize that they’re part of some greater evil. Remember back when those kids were putting duct tape on cats’ heads and calling themselves devil worshippers? Man. What would you have to do to kids to make them come out that messed up?
Anyway. I bet the Mr. Ed theme song didn’t even say that stuff and the radio DJs were just playing a prank on us. But I’ll never know for sure, because by the time I felt safe enough to turn the radio back on, the backwards-masking segment was over and they were playing some crappy song by Nickelback.
That’s right, y’all. Nickelback was put on earth by the devil.
